Hi Backerkit,
Tokii here! I'm roughing some design ideas for the pin banner for the campaign and need help deciding. What should I go for?


Jackolope themed with silhouettes of other cryptids in the background



Or a deer demon with a whimsical pine forest in the back?

Both will have antler wrapping around the borders for an organic outline, and will be painted in a painterly style. 

What do you guys think? Attaching a poll to see which one is more popular, or if you have other ideas just comment below!

Stay Adventerous,
Tokii and Jacob

📖‼️Storyline, Week Four: New Place Again - (Included Poll!)

Sorry to keep changing the placement of this on ya'll but I think I've finally found the most optimal spot to put the filler pin details! Each pin will be 1" in size, with additional details listed down below:
  • The Dingy Boat filler pin will not have unusual features.
  • The Special Lure filler pin we hope will have two dangling hooks attached with a chain loop!
  • The Cooler Filling filler pin we hope will have pearl swirl on the foam giving it a fun fizzy look!

Hello Backerkit!

It seems that Robert has run from home once more, and now that he's safe from the beasties that stalked his previous dwellings he asks your thoughts on what he should invest in to improve his fishing hobby. Hopefully this time around Robert will have more time to sit back and relax before packing his bags again, but at least he's got a friend by his side. Do you think the cat should have a name, if so make a suggestion in the comments below!
 
Stay tuned for next week for more interactive messages, But for now, take a peek at the pins that we're including for this region of the US...

Hello Backerkit!

It seems that Robert has lost ground in his stand-off against the things that go bump in the night, and now after some years passed asks your for suggestion once more. This time he's away from the horrors of home, and all he has to deal with is the dreadful New England winters. Between a single matchbox that promises only a few warm nights, a finicky tool not easily used in beginner's hands, and a trick that'd probably work better if he were outside - I trust that ya'll can lead him to make the best decision ;>

Hello Backerkit! We're a little early on this update because I can't figure out how to undo published polls 😅

I hope you enjoy your first morsel of what we have in store for you in the upcoming storyline posts, Tokii has created a series of 21 designs for you all to choose from, and these are only the first 3! Which of these items do you think would be best for Froggy Bobby to add to his arsenal? Do you think he just needs to calm down and relax with the aid of Moonshine, do you think whichever prankster is messing him will stop if they see something like the backwards ballcap, or do you think there might actually be something to be afraid of, and any weapon is better than none with the Switch Army Knife?

Stay tuned for next week for more interactive messages, But for now, take a peek at the pins that we're including for this region of the US...

Hello Backerkit!

While this story will remain canonically a bit one-sided, the recipient's response never being disclosed or documented, I'm curious nonetheless. If you were in the recipient's shoes when they'd gotten this message, how do you think you'd respond? What kind of life do you think they would have lived after leaving their childhood city of Jacksonville Florida?

Stay tuned for next week when we'll be diving into more of the interactive messages! In the upcoming storyline posts you'll get to decide which filler pin designs we feature during this campaign!

Stay adventurous,
- Jacob and Tokii
